This is a superb well written in simple language for young children and superbly illustrated with a lovely drawing that will appeal to youngsters. This is a small book covering a large range of everyday topics that are currently occurring every day. The author has written about dealing with death, deforestation, extinction of animals and other similar topics in a first-class way that can allow grown-up to approach the subjects with a child with a positive perspective instead of the difficulty of explaining the sad things in life that some grown-ups may feel difficult to approach. A great book for children who are both dealing and not dealing with the topics covered in the book and allow youngsters and grown up to be able to discuss the topics openly Superb book and expertly written.

On the other, we have a beautiful description of God's garden, where those who have lived 'in the way everyone should' go after this life, according to the scriptures of five of the world's major faiths. But are they really such different topics...surely any creature that becomes extinct is to be mourned, just as a friend or relative would be, for we are all interconnected. And how reassuring that all creatures are welcome in God's garden, as very often a chid's first experience of death will be that of a family pet.... Read Full Review
